With the belief that Minnesota doesn't love any package Boston can put together, Ainge is probably exploring just about anything. Sign-and-trade possibilities. Three-team deals. Trading his entire family and all of his closest friends. Nothing would surprise me. Danny Ainge wants Kevin Love and Danny Ainge is fearless while pursuing what he wants.

Hopefully this time his creativity succeeds, but Love landing in Boston reportedly remains a "long-shot." We will see. What we can say with certainty is that as long as the Timberwolves remain open to Love offers, Ainge will be trying to acquire him.
